Summer Meditation 3: Cultivating Healthy Motivation

Cultivate a stronger sense of capacity, resourcing, healthy motivation and being on your own side. Let go of attachment to outcomes and reduce pressure, reactivity and craving. In this practice, inspired by Rick Hanson's book Hardwiring Happiness and his method of Taking in the Good, cultivate the ability to notice and recognise simple needs being met, everyday achievements and capacities.

Motivate and encourage yourself to work towards important goals from a place of wise effort, of feeling resourced and fundamentally enough, rather than from a place of deficit, craving, or not enough. Resource yourself to keep opening to experience with curiosity and willingness to be your own side. Move into presence and openness.
